OVERVIEW
Web threats are any threat that uses the Web to facilitate cybercrime. They are sophisticated in their methods, using multiple types of malware and fraud, all of which utilize HTTP or HTTPS protocols, but can also employ other protocols as components of the attack, such as links in email or IM, or malware in attachments or on servers that access the Web.
If you're browsing a website which has been detected as a web threat, the website is possibly compromised and injected with malicious scripts or files. The injected script or file may be delivered to your computer while you browse the compromised website. This detection indicates a potential security risk exists in your computer.
